Yeah Ares V it is. Can someone make the INI file so that the Nerva fits perfectly inside the Ares (if it is not already done). We can distribute the Ares ini later. Working on project guideline now

By width it fit, it still had another object below it, so it was put 'above' the module. I tried again without that module, actually the fairing isn't to short, its too long. Actually the fairing can be dropped down some. And Energia doesn't look all that bad... :)

If anyone has been watching that March 26 S. Korea sinking, they finally reported what happened. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/asia_pacific/10129703.stm So they did it, but now what?

Proton = same I just download Energy Project ENERGY project, release 4 From the wiki, it is just barely able to lift it up (with full payload of fuel) We can cut back fuel if need be, but anything wrong with using this vessel? Hey now I thought we where going with realistic? XR5? :rofl...

Um OK I think I might of ran into a bit of a snag... Giving it a rundown, I saw that the Nerva is so large, it would need its own independent launch. I realized a few things; Nerva has enough thrust to take off Earth on its own no problem, but it doesn't look like it is really the flyable type...

Nice oh and your good with using Viking? You know I never took a project management course before. That comes in college a little later ;) Using their phase guideline: Pre-Phase A, Conceptual Study Phase A, Preliminary Analysis Phase B, Definition Phase C/D, Design and Development Phase E...

After its been created? yeah Mesh Wizard 1.9d Does everything :cheers: Edit: oh wait I thought you meant the mesh file, do you mean in a .dll? AFAIK you would have to rotate everything one at a time...

Better than 53 hours ;) I think if I was anywhere within 5 hours away I would go.

Do you think Viking would be a good Mars exploring vessel? Instead of jumping from LMO to surface for one time use, it could jump a few KM at a time and come back for refuel when needed. The alternative is to use MER... or an altered version of our soon to be developed reusable surface to LMO...

Cool thanks, Um the dunes will be separate from the other buildings. ie, dunes is its own separate meshes/vehicles. So they don't have to be added to your mesh :cheers: So, we are supposed to drag along a viking lander? The plaque was suggested a while ago and truly is not a 'necessity' just...

Ahha, so thats what it will look like. Right now we don't actually need pilots so much, we are hurting for models. I'am going to try doing sand dunes, very basic and easy... dirt :) I updated the OFMM wiki on required models ---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at...

Oh I see what your saying, the Hab module will stay in its current configuration throughout the entire mission, so it willnot be deploy-able, merely shift positions a lot. So this IRDT, I guess it will be super sized for the hab modules and whatever. They will also need to be modeled as well...

but your doing such a marvelous job already... ;) why not continue... Alright this might be beyond the scope of the base but how exactly are we getting all this there? Nuclear reactor? 10m hab modules? This realistically will never fit into little UCGO cargo boxes, but would we 'break' Dan's...

Wow leave for a day and... Alright just staying outta this little scrap, I am gathering we are removing MSS? Has the vessel of choice for Earth-Mars trans been decided/altered? AFAIK its still the Arrow... Anyway, nice grounds layout picture Urwumpe, though it looks like most of the...

Good to know Progress offers what 196 kN thrust? Though I doubt they would ever run at 100%. Is that my fault? Urwumpe, look at who is exactly on this little project here. How many of them are addon devs? Counting from the social group, 2 good quality devs, + me(at about average skill...

Interesting, could work for higher atmospheric drag, though would it be effective at a high enough altitude before too much heating and dynamic pressure occurs? Hmm, interesting, so we send enough fuel to Mars to send the MSS back to Earth? Last I knew, we where not planning on returning the...

Exactly, I guess 5/ms is tolerable perhaps though not (realistically) with the solar panels extended like that, maybe if they where brought in more for burns? Anyway, next steps: Pablo, as MSS designer, that includes the order at which these modules are launched and how they are built. It...

wow thats a lot. It looks like an external drop tank is needed, but going off the calculations above, that means half an ares load and like a 16 or so minute burn. Ill crunch numbers later but that is most definitly plausable.

My sentiments exactly. Expecially with the solar panels out like that, more like huge sails. Pablo (or anyone else), since you have all the modules already built, can you give a estimate of the weight of each individual module there? Perhaps all we need is a little more fuel and/or second...

You know your an Orbiter fan when... :thumbup: going from the current mss concept, (btw good job Pablo:cheers:) it would be rather difficult to start sticking SRB's onto this and boosting it, for few specific reasons; 1. How do you get a fueled SRB into orbit? 2. SRB has a way low Isp, 269...
